The first domino in the NFL’s quarterback market has fallen, with Derek Carr announcing that he will be playing for the New Orleans Saints this season. Aaron Rodgers now leads the market — if he decides to play and is traded by the Packers.

. “That fire burning inside of me to win a championship still rages. A fire no man can extinguish; only God. So I look forward to a new city and a new team who, no matter the circumstance, will get everything I have. Winning a championship is what I’ve always wanted and what I will continue to work towards.”

The Saints finished 7-10 last season, and with Carr’s arrival, Jameis Winston is expected to be a salary cap casualty. Carr joins an offense with veteran talent in running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Michael Thomas, who has been bothered by injuries of late, as well as wideout Chris Olave, a 2022 first-round pick who impressed as a rookie.Carr and Saints Coach Dennis Allen are well acquainted from Allen’s tenure as the Raiders’ head coach.

After benching Carr with two games remaining last season, the Raiders gave fourth-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham the first starts of his career. It is unclear if Las Vegas intends to address the position in free agency, possibly by reuniting Jimmy Garoppolo with Raiders head coach and former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Other options include a trade, potentially for Rodgers, or this year’s draft, in which Las Vegas holds the seventh overall pick.
